Suffragette coursework write-up
In this essay I will be talking about three different representations and their accuracy, balance and completeness. They are as followed.
Representation one is an A level textbook that has the suffrage movement written from 1832-1931. The book was written by Bob Whitfield. The text is relevantly accurate. Some of the points that the author makes are incorrect.

I inferred that they could be talking about Edith Garrud, she was the first suffragette to know how to do jiu-jitsu and she also taught other suffragettes. In terms of balance, the source is bias and is more supportive of the suffragette movement and the source suggests the police were scared of the suffragettes. The source doesn’t answer the question either, so I wouldn’t choose this source to show it supposedly answers the
